Steps

Preheat oven to 350
Place nuts on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and place in a dish towel while still warm, rub with towel to remove skins, then coarsely chop.
Place a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add nuts and sugar. Stir constantly until sugar melts and coats all nuts. This process will be very slow at first, but once that sugar begins to liquidize, you really need to be ready. Keep stirring, the caramel will form, and it will brown the nuts more deeply as well.
Once caramel forms, transfer nuts to parchment paper to cool completely. When cooled, coarsely chop and enjoy!

I was just wondering if you could tell me how I can make the hazelnuts soft because my Aunt is older and she has a hard time chewing anything crunchy and she absolutely loves hazelnuts. I have a bag of shelled and roasted hazelnuts and I would love to surprise her with something softer that would be able to enjoy. Thank you 🌰🙂🌰

Very good. I see what you mean about the dry sugar taking long to start liquifying. I almost gave up. Thank you.
